Resources for Men and Events of Interest to Men

My Kiva group is sponsoring our second Soul Camp this coming May [2009]. It's
a Thursday-through-Sunday event at a lovely wooded spot surrounded by
Old Hickory Lake. Some of the leaders of the Men's Leadership Alliance
in Colorado (aka Sapphire Canyon) will be guiding. The experience is
powerful in deep ways, and will be a major blessing helping men to de-
stress in these difficult times.

The text from our postcard follows:

You are warmly invited to attend Soul Camp to explore the light and
shadow within for personal growth, collective healing, and connection
with nature and men in authentic ways. You can receive support on your
life journey, break from patterns, improve presence, and create a
deepening of who you are in your family, job and community.

Last year's Soul Camp was a remarkable success! We had men attending
who had never done any men's work at all who were blown away (in the
best sense), and we're gearing up for a really strong gathering this
year. There's much good food for the soul here. Come get some!

From the Warrior Monk brochure:
Learn in an intensive five-day retreat, we explore
the questions:
Who Am I?
Where Am I Going?
and...
With Whom?
We invite you to experience a meditative place
of wonder and beauty, combined with intense
opportunity for transformation. Through sacred
ritual, deep personal work and meditation - we
begin the integration of the Warrior and the
Monk.

2006, submitted:

Message from Simon:
Brothers,
Some of these experiences are longer in duration than a weekend. I know how easy it is to say "I can't spare more than three days for my men's work." As I've found myself and heard from other men, (alumni from these programs), that our responsibilities to work and family can be immeasurably enhanced by our periodically slowing down to spirit time, to nature time, and have nothing more to do than connect to and be ourselves, authentically and without judgement. It takes more than three days to be able to drop into that place. These are exceptional experiences, and you deserve them. You'll never be the same!
